maklooda Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 All the currently hyped 'secure' text messaging solutions fail at one thing: asnychronous secure messaging, ideally over multiple devices. - Tox no offline messages. Not coming anytime soon- Whispersystems. Supports offline messaging but no PC client, allegedly coming "soon".- Bleep. No offline messages. Claim it will come "soon" but no timeline given.- OTR. No offline messages because it's 'less secure'. They will not consider introducing it. I don't care how secure a protocol is, if it doesn't support asynchronous messaging at least as an option -- even if less secure -- then it's worthless IMO. I understand this feature is complex to develop, but why bother releasing an IM software at all without offline messaging? I don't understand how no one else appears to be bothered by this. It's a shame only Telegram and Skype have got this right and I am back to using them -- although I don't like them.
